(Central News Agency, reporter Wang Cheng-chung, Taipei 12th) After the Presidential Office announced the list of nominees for the Control Yuan, KMT caucus leader Fu Kun-chi stated today that they will certainly fulfill their duties, strictly review the nominations, and handle everything according to the law. Regarding the calls from Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an and some KMT legislators to abolish the Control Yuan, Fu said the KMT caucus has always valued the opinions of its members and will respect all views.
Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim announced on the 11th that President Lai Ching-te will nominate former Taiwan Association for Human Rights President Chen Yong-hsing as President of the Control Yuan and concurrently as Chair of the National Human Rights Commission, with current Control Yuan member Wang Jung-chang as Vice President. Additionally, 27 others, including Pingtung Urban-Rural Development Cultural and Educational Foundation Chairperson Liao Wan-ru, were nominated as Control Yuan members. The Presidential Office stated that the presidential message has been sent to the Legislative Yuan, requesting its consent.
Speaking to the media at the Legislative Yuan in the morning, Fu Kun-chi said the 29 Control Yuan members nominated by President Lai include Chen Yong-hsing, a major pro-independence figure, as President. He characterized this as an attempt to appease the pro-independence faction through the nominations.
Fu stated that Chiang Wan-an has made it very clear that the Control Yuan only knows how to target the opposition party. Despite numerous major corruption cases occurring in the country, the Control Yuan has never investigated cases related to the DPP, effectively becoming a true "Eastern Depot" (a reference to a historical imperial spy agency). Regarding the nominees proposed by President Lai, Fu said the Legislative Yuan will certainly fulfill its duties, and the KMT will strictly review and handle the matter according to the law.
Some KMT legislators have expressed they do not support this round of Control Yuan nominations and have even called for the abolition of the Control Yuan. Chiang Wan-an has also stated his belief that the Control Yuan should be abolished. Fu Kun-chi said the KMT caucus has always valued the opinions of its members.
Fu said that after the official document from the Presidential Office arrives at the Legislative Yuan, the KMT caucus will hold a caucus meeting to discuss the matter, maintain close contact with the party headquarters, strictly review the list of Control Yuan nominees, and respect all opinions.
